AN ANATOMIC APPROACH TO MINIMALLY<br />
INVASIVE SPINE SURGERY (Book and 2 DVDs)<br />
Edited by Mick J. Perez-Cruet, M.D., M.Sc., Larry T. Khoo, M.D.,<br />
and Richard G. Fessler, M.D., Ph.D.<br />
20<strong>06</strong>. Hardcover, 800 pages, 825 illustrations (most in color), 2 DVDs<br />
ISBN 1-57626-173-5<br />
An Anatomic Approach to Minimal Access Spine Surgery provides an anatomically<br />
oriented presentation of the latest developments in minimally invasive surgery for<br />
the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. Each chapter balances clinical anatomy<br />
with specific surgical applications. Every procedure is described in precise step-bystep<br />
fashion and is accompanied by detailed color illustrations and intraoperative<br />
images which highlight the key steps for performing these techniques safely and<br />
effectively. Numerous pre- and postoperative images demonstrate the possible<br />
results that can be achieved. Instrumentation, monitoring, outcome analysis, and complications are also discussed in detail.<br />
An Anatomic Approach to Minimal Access Spine Surgery is edited by preeminent experts, Dr. Mick Perez-Cruet, Dr. Larry<br />
Khoo, and Dr. Richard G. Fessler, who are joined by group of outstanding contributors. Comprehensive chapters are<br />
included on the range of minimally invasive spine surgery operations.<br />
Of particular importance is the chapter on complication<br />
avoidance; this invaluable chapter provides the reader with information<br />
on potential complications and how to avoid them to help<br />
ensure safe procedures, improved patient outcomes, and reduced<br />
healthcare costs. In addition, chapters on minimally invasive fusion<br />
and instrumentation (including the Pathfinder and the Sextant systems),<br />
percutaneous pedicle screw targeting, injection based spine<br />
procedures, and artificial disc technology present cutting edge<br />
developments in the field.<br />
To enhance the learning experience, two DVDs are included with<br />
operative video presenting key techniques discussed in the book.<br />

OUTPATIENT SPINAL SURGERY<br />
Edited by Mick J. Perez-Cruet, M.D., M.Sc., Richard G. Fessler, M.D., Ph.D.<br />
2002. Hardcover, 3<strong>11</strong> pages, 150 illustrations (most in color)<br />
ISBN 1-57626-137-9<br />
There's no end in sight to the increasing demand for minimally invasive spinal treatment.<br />
Surgeons love the advancing techniques and improved instrumentation with which they can<br />
address a widening range of indications; informed patients actively seek the benefits of<br />
reduced scarring and a faster return to work; and health maintenance organizations favor<br />
ambulatory surgery for its cost containment advantage.<br />
Outpatient Spinal Surgery is a comprehensive, illustrated reference to the operative techniques<br />
of surgery from the cervical to the lumbar spine that can be performed on an ambulatory<br />
basis. It is also a detailed guide to the bottom-line business aspects of establishing, managing and marketing a successful<br />
outpatient spinal center that consistently delivers quality outcomes.<br />
Operative techniques—described by the leading experts who perfected them—are presented with straightforward<br />
instructions to facilitate rapid learning. Each procedure is accompanied by detailed illustrations and a step-by-step diagram.<br />
The authors note anomalies which may be encountered and how they are best managed, and comment on surgical<br />
equipment and instrumentation.<br />
The logistics and economics of establishing an ambulatory clinic are examined as well. Design and staffing, record keeping<br />
and outcomes analysis, relationships with insurers, regulatory and licensing considerations, competitive<br />
pricing and advertising, and additional aspects of the business side are covered extensively.<br />
